Introduction and Fugato in D Minor

Cuthbert Harris, Mus.D. (Durham, 1899) (b. Holloway, London, England, June 7th, 1870; d. Gorleston-on-Sea, June 17th, 1932) studied at the London Organ School. He was Organist of St. Andrew’s, Streatham, London, 1893; St. Leonard’s Parish Church, Streatham, London, 1903. He was a teacher and author of “First Studies for the Organ”. b. Holloway, London, England, June 7th, 1870; d. Gorleston-on-Sea, June 17th, 1932.

Best known for his compositions for organ most of which continue in today's organ repetoire. Among his organ works are: "At Eventide", "Berceuse in G", "Chanson pastorale", "Concluding Voluntary in D minor", "Concluding Voluntary in G major" and "Festival Postlude in C".

"Introduction and Fugato in D Minor" was published in 1926 by Warren & Phillips. For a "small piece" it has a BIG impact, as the listener will immediately discover. It sounds very good on this organ! :-)

This work was also published as a piano solo.

The score is attached below, as well as a photo of Cuthbert Harris. Included as well are modern photos of St. Andrew's, Streatham, and of St. Leonard's, Streatham, two churches were Harris served as organist.

COMING SOON: "Scenes on the Downs" by Frederic H. Wood. This upload will finish off the complete group of Wood's unique and monumental four suites.

Peace to All!
